Mary's got son thinking to do

It’s a miracle on Christmas Day for Mary – and it’s all thanks to Norris.

The shopkeeper has been on a mission with his friend to track down her long-lost son, but he secretly films an appeal to put on social media.

Perhaps he’s not fully grasped the concept of the internet because, as well as helping the search, it also ends up with half the Rovers regulars finding out about her secret son. Mary reacts by running mortified from the pub.

Peace and goodwill have been restored by Christmas Day and Mary, Norris, Roy and Brian have dinner together at the café. But before they’ve even pulled a cracker, a young man arrives and introduces himself as her son, Jude. Seeing her own flesh and blood is a shock to Mary, especially as she needs to decide whether to tell him why she gave him up.

And when Jude makes her an exciting offer, it’s time for Mary to make some big decisions about her future on the Street.
